Explore A Little-Known Arboretum & Botanical Garden In This Small Indiana City

Indiana is home to only one true “city,” and even by most city standards, it’s still fairly small. Other places that we in the Hoosier State tend to call “cities” might be called towns or even small towns by folks from much larger places, but it’s in those small cities that you can usually find all the best things to do. For example, did you know that one of the best arboretums in Indiana is hidden in the small city (by Hoosier standards, okay?) of Lafayette? It’s true, and as far as arboretums go, Clegg Memorial Garden in Indiana is a true hidden gem.
